capfan has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all!

I just got co-maint on Tk::Text::SuperText. I wanted to make it look better, like having a lib folder and tests.

There is also some issues in this module and I would like to investigate. However, the module does use AutoLoader, which makes it harder for me to understand the module.

So I tried to remove AutoLoader. Simply remove the use AutoLoader statement, remove the __END__ block and move all method inside the module.

But then it happens: suddently, stuff that worked before does not work anymore. To be precise: With the current state of the module (v0.9.5), typing a < works fine. With the new state, with the adjustments as described above, it crashes immediately.

How can this be? Any ideas welcome.
